Best Utility Van(Pampasahero/Kargada)

[ledifni]

Survey lang po.

Anu po the best van out there na pwede ipampasada sa mga shuttle? Tapos, pag off-peak, pwede ipangkargada ng heavy materials.

Must be really durable, and fuel efficient.

Pang negosyo po yung van, so hanggat maaari, cheaper is better. Can be second hand, but we can afford brand new. I actually think brand new is better.

Eto lang po yung napapansin kong ginagamit pampasada:
-Mitsubishi L300(Yung box)
-Nissan Urvan
-Hyundai Grace

May iba pa pong options, kaso di ko po alam lahat. Suggest lang po kayo and please indicate why it would be best and please compare it to others.

Many thanks.

What is your route? Does it involve climbing mountains or running long highways? You might want to consider AUVs like the Hyundai H100. Personally, I really like its interior, the dash certainly won't look out of place in a sedan. And the rear aircon vents stretch all the way to the back. I'm sure you can use that for pampasada, and it can fit more people and cargo too. Hell you can even fit both at the same time! As for vans, you might like the Hiace. Its the most modern among the lot, and its safer and faster to boot.

Sa panahon po ngayon, wala nang brand new na Hyundai Grace. 80% po sa kanila ay surplus kaya po swertehan lang ang pagbili.

Kung yung L300 na FB po yung tinutukoy niyo, beterano na ito.

Kung Nissan Urvan po, either yung 18-seater or 21-seater na ang kunin niyo kung cargo & people loader ang priority niyo.

Other worthy choices are Toyota Hi-ace Commuter, Toyota Hi-lux FX, Hyundai H100, Isuzu IPV, Isuzu NHR-PV, Kia K2700.

Route would be from Marikina to Ortigas. Minsan traffic, pero umaga at gabi lang naman siguro ang byahe as pampasahero. Hindi masyado sa climbing at off-road. Pero kaylangan ng power and torque kasi pangdeliver. Magagamit din po sa long highways like NLEX.

Paki indicate narin po pros and cons ng mga suggestions niyo.

Already seen K2700, its really big and nice, I just don't know of its performance and reliability. Urvan, karamihan eto napapansin ko sa mga byaheng pampasahero(like sa GT express). Isuzu seems super reliable. H100 looks good, I really like Hyundai, but I've never seen one.

Many thanks.

We have isuzu ipv with 300,000 on its odo and still running smoothly, we used to use it for shuttle service here in laguna, used to carry it with tiles This is a sample of it with this load we climb uphill going to our farm at binangonan a 45-50 degree uphill, matarik talaga and kaya naman. , the new L300 FB is good, it's new body is i think longer by a bit from the old one.

The hyundai h100 is also a good one, it is bigger, more space for cargo and for people = more money.

[mikomac]

for me. Nissan Urvan. Very Reliable and Easy-to-look for spare parts.. kahit anong karga kayang dalhin sa location na wlang problema.

[badkuk]

Of all the choices you mentioned, the Urvan is the most refined imho, though if you're gonna be hauling heavy, bulky materials, better check if the seats can be folded up to free up more space. Usually if the seats are forward facing, they don't fold up/down too much.

Most urvan configurations have forward facing seats, but at least one variant has seats facing each other and can be folded up.

The L300 has been around for over 3 decades now, so you know it's a proven van...though it's been well documented that the driver seat can get very hot, since the engine is under it. The H100 is supposed to be a derivative of the L300, and it's supposed to be more refined. Dunno, haven't owned any of these vans.

We all want a truly multi-purpose van, but some are just more inclined to hauling stuff(L300, H100) while others are best suited for people(Urvan)..i guess you have to consider which of the two you will be hauling most of the time B)

[mikomac]

kung pang hauling ang gusto mo. better go for isuzu units.

Please take into consideration the price to purchase and maintain the vehicle, without sacrificing reliability, as this will be used for business and servicing people.

As of now, I'm kinda interested on Urvan and H100.

Kung ganyang types ang needs niyo, May Toyota option diyan which is Hi-Lux FX.

I also have a friend na kumuha ng Isuzu NHR-PV, ito yung kasing laki na ng Elf ang body at nali-lift na yung driver's cabin para masilip yung makina unlike the L300 na directly nasa ilalim ng upuan yung makina. Business ang primary reason, nagdedeliver kasi sila ng libro. 21-seat set-up din ata ito.

Kung Nissan Urvan, it's the 21-seat set-up that you need.

isa-isahin niyo po ang mga casa at i-test drive niyo ang mga units at pumunta kayo sa at least dalawang casa ng isang brand (for example, dalawang dealer ng Nissan) kasi pwedeng mabigyan kayo ng lower discount ng isang ahente sa kabilang dealer. Just a tip lang po. Minsan po kasi may offer ang isang dealer na wala ang isang dealer.

[basti08]

Urvan. Or Kia K2700, surprisingly satisfying workhorse.

[armscor40]

may i suggest additional options to the TS: i can best describe the units below to be a Multi-Purpose All-Around Vehicle (both Shuttle and/or Delivery): all good price just haggle for discounts or freebies;

1) KIA KC2700 - the biggest in the bunch, i owned one before & i tell you maintenance & parts is cheap kahit sa casa pa, good performance, big configuration, engine under the seat..
2) Hyundai H100 Porter - same also w/ KC2700 but the brand speak for itself, same w/ KIA PMS, big configuration also, engine under seat..
3) Mitsu L300FB - its a well-known brand for this kind of business, engine under seat, mid-size config because of its body..
4) Isuzu IPV - tried and tested engine, mid-size config., engine infront..
5) Toyota Hilux-FX - predecessor of first gen FX but with newer engine infront.

sayang naman if brand new van gagawin mo delivery once in awhile. consider also the shocks, suspensions parts, underchassis components if you want it for long-term use...HTH!

[yapoy86]

ingat lang sa L300FB... madalas malaglag ang ball joint nyan!! dami ko na nakikita nyan laglag ang ball joint sa gitna ng kalsada...

mas ok ang KC2700 or H100.. malaki pero class ang dating..

If the seating capacity if urvan suits what you need and the cargo space is enough for you then go for it, but if it is not enough go for h100.

I my self wouldn't suggest the new FX (hilux) for your needs, it has more expensive maintenance than your other choices which is its down side, but in return you get the power and the looks. But you don't need that much power, the power of 4D56, TD27, 4JA1 is just enough.

[ledifni]

OK, noted to avoid L300 and Hilux. Thanks for the info.

[jimnyeatworld]

ok sana yun isuzu lpv, pero mas ok kung crosswind ang isaksak nila sa harap

[GTi]

The H100 is really nice. May naririnig ako na mas reliable daw ang engine ng H100 kesa sa K2700 (magkaiba sila ng makina), mas madaling ma-overheat daw ang K2700. At pagdating sa dealer, alam natin na Hyundai is the better one, with better deals and better after sales service. Mas malaki ang NHR-PV, pero di ko sure kung ginagamit na dun ang turbocharged 4JB1 na ginagamit sa mga dropside na NHR. Kapag normally aspirated engine, kasing lakas lang yan sa H100.

[jhayster14]

sir suggest lang...ito ung pro and cons nung suggest ko 2 van kung pang biyahe (pampasahero) din

sa nissan urvan (pros)
- mura
- mabilis makahanap ng pyesa
- mababa lang ang down at monthly (mga 23k monthly at 200k down)

(cons)
- mostly sabi ng mga urvan owner mabilis daw mag overheat ung van, may kakilala ako, urvan inakyat ng baguio 10 passengers, nag overheat sa gitna ng marcos highway. brand new nila kinuha ung van
- mostly sa nissan urvan, sabi ng mga kasamahan ko, underpower daw, at malakas sa gas due to its 2.7 engine.

sa Toyota Hiace Commuter ( pros )
- malakas ang makina, dahil powered ng computer box.
- fuel efficient dahil sa 2.5 turbo engine nito, at malakas na humatak, tipid pa.
- toyota, kaya sure na tatagal ung van.
- mas may dating ung porma ng van

(cons)
- medyo malaki difference sa downpayment at monthly ( ung sa amin, 22,000 ang monthly, 290k downpayment all in na sir ).
- dapat alaga, dahil pag nasira, idadamay ung computer box, witch is important sa car.

sir, suggest ko lang yan, nasayo padin ung desisyon base on your budget

[jalibee]

Mga sir alin kaya sa mga van na to ang may pinakamataas na head room.. yung kasya ang ang cruiser bike na 5 feet ang taas (may wind shield kasi) tnx
